Microwave vibration sensors

摘要

A vibration sensor (100; 200) includes a probe body (102; 202) with a vibration isolator (104; 204) operatively connected to the probe body for isolation of the probe body from vibrations of a structure to be monitored for vibration. A waveguide (108; 208) is operatively connected to the probe body to convey microwaves to and from a surface (106; 206) for sensing vibration of the structure to be monitored for vibration.
